I live half a mile from Ward's Rockmount Store in Newry, but won't buy anything other than newspapers off him as his greed knows no boundaries. When local retailers in Belfast are charging 55p for a standard chocolate bar I see no need why this bastard wants 68p.

68p ? he is practically giving them away. You want to try Johnny Kirks in Dundalk, everything is either €1 €1.50 €2 etc and its usually out of date. He even refills empty water bottles with tap water and resells them and gets away with it.
I am partial to the odd Mars Bar, is it just me or are they tiny nowadays?
